- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; break up any brown sugar lumps with your fingers or a wooden spoon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and vanilla, then add to flour mixture and stir just until combined.
Add apples, raisins, carrots, walnuts and ¼ cup of the coconut and stir gently until well combined.
Spoon batter into 16 paper-lined muffin tins, filling each about ⅔ full.
Top evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons coconut and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
